1. Information We Collect
QuickyDesk is designed to collect as little information as possible.
Files you upload: When you use a PDF tool, you upload files to our server. These are temporarily stored only for as long as needed to perform the requested operation. We do not read, analyse, index, or retain the content of your files beyond what is technically necessary to process them.
Contact form submissions: If you use our Contact page, we receive your name, email address, and message. This is used solely to respond to your enquiry.
Server logs: Like any web server, ours automatically records your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. These logs are used for security monitoring and debugging, and are not linked to personally identifiable information.
2. How We Use Your Uploaded Files
Your uploaded files are used for one purpose only: to perform the PDF operation you requested. The file is processed, the result is made available to download, and then both the original and processed files are scheduled for automatic deletion.
We do not:
- Read or scan the content of your documents.
- Use your files to train machine learning models.
- Share your files with third parties.
- Store your files permanently.
- Back up your files in any long-term storage system.
3. File Storage and Automatic Deletion
All uploaded and processed files are stored temporarily on our server. They are automatically and permanently deleted within 15 minutes of being created, regardless of whether you downloaded the result.
This deletion is handled by an automated background process that runs continuously. You do not need to manually delete your files, and there is no option to "save" files to your account — we do not have user accounts.
5. Advertising (Google AdSense)
QuickyDesk uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to show ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity across websites. This is a form of interest-based advertising.
Google's use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to QuickyDesk and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
For more information on how Google uses data when you visit sites that use its advertising services, see Google's Privacy & Terms.
6. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information or file data to any third party. We may share information only:
- Legal compliance: If required by law or court order.
- Service providers: Hosting providers who have access to server infrastructure, bound by confidentiality agreements.
7. Security
We use HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Our servers are secured and regularly maintained. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. For highly sensitive documents, we recommend processing them locally using desktop software.
8. Children's Privacy
QuickyDesk is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.
9. Your Rights
Because QuickyDesk requires no account and deletes uploaded files automatically within 15 minutes, we hold almost no personal data about you. Where applicable law grants you rights over the limited data we do process (such as analytics identifiers and advertising cookies), you can exercise them as described below.
EU, EEA & UK users (GDPR)
If you are in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / UK GDPR) gives you the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erase your data ("right to be forgotten").
- Restrict or object to processing, including profiling for advertising.
- Data portability — receive your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time for cookies and interest-based ads, via the cookie consent banner or your browser settings.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Our legal bases for processing are your consent (analytics and advertising cookies) and our legitimate interest in operating and securing the service. For users in the EEA and UK, advertising and analytics cookies are loaded only after you consent via our cookie banner.
California users (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) gives you the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion, to correct it, and to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing." QuickyDesk does not sell or share your personal information for monetary value. Interest-based advertising cookies set by Google may be treated as a "sale/share" under California law — you can opt out at any time using the links in the Advertising section above or via the cookie consent banner. We do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry-agreed standard for responding to DNT, so QuickyDesk does not currently respond to DNT signals. You can instead control tracking through the cookie banner and the opt-out links provided above.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We respond to verified requests within 30 days.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated date. Continued use of QuickyDesk after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
